About this work

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- In the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility, the Phoenix Mars Lander spacecraft is lifted from its stand. The Phoenix will be moved to the upper stage booster for mating. Targeted for launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on Aug. 3, Phoenix will land in icy soils near the north polar permanent ice cap of Mars and explore the history of the water in these soils and any associated rocks, while monitoring polar climate.
